Incriminating materials found from Mangaluru blast accused's rented house: Police
Mangaluru(PTI): Police found materials that go into making a bomb from the house where the Mangaluru blast accused Mohammed Shariq, was staying as a tenant in Mysuru, a senior police official said on Monday.
Shariq was "influenced and inspired" by a (terrorist) organisation with global presence, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Alok Kumar said.
The 24-year old, hailing from Tirthahalli in Shivamogga district, was carrying the improvised explosive device (IED) in a cooker in an autorickshaw on Saturday when it exploded on the outskirts of this coastal city on Saturday.
He received burn injuries in the blast and is currently undergoing treatment in a city hospital.
"...Our priority is to see that he survives, we have to take him to a stage where we can question him," Kumar said.
The police had termed the blast "an act of terror with intention to cause serious damage."
"We found materials that are used in making a bomb such as ammonium nitrate, nuts, bolts and other material from Mohan Kumar's house where he was staying," Kumar said.
Police carried out searches at seven places.
Shariq was also involved in painting objectionable graffiti in Mangaluru earlier, Kumar added.
